...For some reason, I feel safe that this post won't be deleted and I won't be ridiculed for my post....
But, back to what we were talking about....
Amberjack is right. Rod tips need to be fixed the right way or you're going to be doing it again... Most good tackle shops do it fairly cheap and it's really worth it to have it fixed by a "pro". Those temp fixes will get you through your trip, but if you don't get it done right, you'll be doing it over.
If you don't want to take my word for it, I'll let you use my d-shot rod and you'll see. :lol:
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
